PYST 5: IB Security Assistant & MTS Official Paper - Logical Ability & Reasoning (Held On: 24 March, 2023 Shift 2) (Previous Year Paper)

The position and positional values or English Alphabets are:

Now,

GLY : BGT

OLP : JGK 

Let's check each Option One by One.

Option 1) STL : NOG

Option 2) YRD : UNX

Option 3) CBP : WVL

Option 4) EIN : ACJ

So, Only STL : NOG follows the pattern of given letter cluster.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

The Given Series: 275, 463, 567, 428, 394, 663, 129

Now, If 6 is added to the first digit of every number:

Series becomes: 875, 1063, 1167, 1028, 994, 1263, 729.

There are 3 Numbers in which first digit be exactly divisible by the second digit: 1028, 994, 1263.

As 10 is completely divisible by 2

9 is completely divisible by 9

And, 12 is completely divisible by 6.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

Given: Rohit is looking for his brother. He started from a point and went 110 m towards the west before turning to his left.

Then he went 40 m, turned to his left and went 50 m to look for his brother at his uncle’s place.

From there, he went 120 m to his north before meeting his brother at point X.

The Shortest Distance between X and Starting Point = (√ (80)² + (60)²)m

√ 6400 + 3600m = √ 10000m

= 100m.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Given: 37 43 87 & 32 54 @ % 89 65 44 $ 67 34 # 78

Now,

8^th term to the right of 15^th from the right end in the above series.

First, 15^th term from Right End,

Now, 8^th term to the right of 15^th term from right end.

So, 65 is 8^th term to the right of 15^th from the right end in the above series.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.$

Given Equation: 18 − 18 ÷ 3 − 72 × 12 + 4 − 6

BODMAS Rule:

Decoding the Given Information:

Now replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:

New Equation: 18 × 18 + 3 × 72 ÷ 12 - 4 × 6 

Calculation:

⇒18 × 18 + 3 × 72 ÷ 12 - 4 × 6

⇒18 × 18 + 3 × 6 - 4 × 6

⇒324 + 18 - 24

⇒342 - 24 =  318.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

The position and positional value of English Alphabets are:

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) ORVZ

Option 2) MQUY

Option 3) JNRV

Option 4) TXBF

So, ORVZ is odd among the given options.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

BODMAS Rule: 

Given Equation:

 9318 + 719.479 – X = 8953.625

Taking Approximate Values:

⇒9318 + 719 – X = 8953

⇒10037 - X = 8953

⇒10037 - 8953 = X

⇒1084 = X.

So, the value of X is 1084.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Given: Eight people are living on eight different floors of the building in such a way that the ground floor is numbered 1, the floor above that is numbered 2, and so on till the top floor is numbered 8.

D lives on the ground floor

F lives on the topmost floor.

Only two people live between E and D.

Only two people live between C and E.

G lives immediately above B.

A lives on one of the floors below E but above D and H.

So, From the above arrangement, there are 4 floors between C and H lives.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

The position and positional value of English Alphabets are:

The logic followed here is:

Now, 

GJM : CFI

 LOR : HKN

Let's check each Option One by One.

Option1) QSW : NPS

Option 2) QTW : MPS

Option 3) PTX : LPU

Option 4) RUY : QSZ

So, QTW : MPS follows the pattern of given letter clusters.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Given: 

Given Code: 94$3&3

Here Rule No. 1, If the first and the last elements are numbers, then both the numbers are coded as the code for the last number

Rule No. 2, If the third element is a symbol, then the code for the symbol is exchanged with the code for the fifth element.

Rule No. 3, If the fourth element is an odd number, then it is to be coded as #. 

Now, in the given code '94$3&3' All rules apply.

So, The Given Code '94$3&3'  will be decoded as → E Q U # J E.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Given: P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W are sitting in a round circle, facing the centre.

P is third to the left of S.

P is second to the right of T, who is an immediate neighbour of both R and V.

U is second to the left of T.

S is an immediate neighbour of both U and W.

W is not the neighbour of P.

Q is fourth to the right of V.

So, from the above arrangement T sits to the immediate right of V.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Given: A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting in a straight line facing north.

E sits at one of the extreme ends of the line.

G sits fourth to left of E.

G is an immediate neighbour of both C and D.

C sits third to the right of B.

A sits second to the right of C.

From the above arrangement, B and D sit to the left of G.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

The logic followed here is:

‘bike roads highways cars’ is written as ‘od lk sk jk’.

‘jeep scooter highways bus’ is written as ‘mj jk dn ho’

‘bus cycle link express’ is written as ‘gt fa mj lk’,

‘express ways without toll’ is written as ‘sk mn ho gt’

Here, 'jk' is the code for 'Highways'

'gt' is the code for 'express'

'mj' is the code for 'BUS'

So, code 'mj' is common in both the statements with the word 'BUS'. 

Therefore, 'Bus' is coded as 'mj'.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

According to the Venn Diagram:

The Shaded area shows the number of boys who are cricketers and footballers = 11.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

The logic followed here is:

So, 91 will replace the question mark in the series.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Given:  6 students Hansraj, Varun, Nandkishor, Poonam, Pranjal, Sam and the comparison of their scores in Science test.

1) Hansraj scored equal to Varun.

2) Nandkishor scored more than Varun but less than Poonam.

Hansraj = Varun < Nandkishor < Poonam.

3) Pranjal scored more than Sam but less than Varun.

Sam < Pranjal < Hansraj = Varun < Nandkishor < Poonam

Here, Pranjal scored second lowest in Science test.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

The logic followed here is:

From Option 1) TSCACACSTOC 

A T C O S C / A A C O S T / A C C O S  T / A C O  C S T → Does not follow pattern.

From Option 2) SACCCACOCST 

A S C O A C / A C C O S T / A C C O O C / A  C S T S T → Does not follow pattern.

From Option 3) STCACCSTOOA 

A S C O T  C / A A  C O S T / C S C O T O / A C O A S T → Does not follow pattern.

From Option 4) CSTCCACSTCO

A C C O S T / A C C O S T / A C C O S T/ A C C OS T → follows a pattern of ACCOST.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

The logic followed here is:

Rank of R = 23^rd

Total number of students in class = 76

Rank from the R from last = Total number of student in the class - Rank of R + 1.

= 76 - 23 + 1 

= 53 + 1

= 54.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

The logic followed here is:

So, 230 will complete the series.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Family Chart:

Decoding the Symbols:

Let's check each option One by One:

Option 1) R + Q − P

Here, R is daughter of P.

Option 2) Q − P + R

Here, P is daughter of R but gender of R is not defined.

Option 3) P + Q − R

Here, R is mother of P.

Option 4) P + R − Q

Here, R is father of P.

So, P + Q - R gives R is the Mother of P.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.
